BASINGSTOKE is set to host its “biggest wrestling show ever” as the superstars of SWF Wrestling and Kapow Wrestling are joining hands to return to town.

The show will be held at Popley Fields Community Centre on Saturday, April 16.

According to SWF Wrestling, the show will feature former TNA x-division champion Dough Williams.

Williams is one of the biggest names in British wrestling.

A spokesperson said: “He is a much travelled veteran of the ring, having represented England all over the world including Japan, Germany and the Middle East, but it was the USA where Williams really made his name working for the very popular TNA promotion where he became a multi title holder winning the TNA x division, television and tag team belts.

“Williams is hoping the luck of Basingstoke helps him to win another title as he challenges the newly crowned Kapow Heroweight champion Kelly Sixx in the evenings main event.”

The organisers said they chose Popley Fields as the venue because they wanted to help community centres during the post-pandemic phase, rather than paying hundres of pounds to hire theatres.

Popley Fields had hosted the wrestlers in January as well, and that event was a sell-out.

The April event will feature a star-studded line up and will include tag team, solo action and a ladies and championship showdown.

The all-nations champion Big Money Bobby Vegas challenges the high-flying Lionkid, while Darcy Stone aims to become the number one contender for the women's title as she goes in against Nightshade.

All the action starts at 7pm with doors opening at 6.30pm. Tickets can be purchased online at kapowwrestling.co.uk with any others available on the door.
